Opportunity Summary:
The grant opportunity titled "Crew to Maintain Historic Cast Iron Tablets at CHCH" (Funding Opportunity Number P16AS00182) is a U.S. Department of the Interior, National Park Service (DOI-NPS) discretionary funding notice centered on education and hands-on workforce training. The core purpose of the project is to provide youth with practical instruction in the preservation and maintenance of historic cast iron tablets at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park. In other words, the emphasis is not simply on completing preservation work, but on using that work as a structured learning experience that builds skills related to cultural resource stewardship and historic preservation.
This opportunity is offered under a cooperative agreement, which typically means the National Park Service expects to remain substantially involved in the project rather than simply issuing a grant and stepping back. The funding activity category is listed as education, aligning with the training-focused objective and the intent to develop youth capacity in preservation practices. The listed CFDA number for the program area is 15.931, which corresponds to National Park Service financial assistance programming.
The notice indicates an expected total of one award, with an award ceiling of $36,630. The posting and creation dates are May 19, 2016, reflecting when the notice was made public. Importantly, this announcement is explicitly a notice of intent for a restricted award and is not a request for applications. Both the original and current closing date fields reiterate that no applications are being solicited through this posting, which usually signals that the agency intends to make an award to a specific eligible entity (or a limited pool) under a justification for restricted competition.
Eligibility is described as including nonprofits that do not have 501(c)(3) status (other than institutions of higher education) and "others" as clarified in an additional eligibility text field (not included in the excerpt). In practical terms, this suggests the recipient may be an organization positioned to operate youth crews or deliver structured training, potentially in partnership with the park, while meeting whatever additional conditions are spelled out in the full eligibility language.
Overall, the opportunity supports a targeted preservation and education effort at Chickamauga and Chattanooga National Military Park by funding a youth crew model that combines real-world maintenance of historic cast iron interpretive tablets with skill-building, training, and supervised experience in caring for significant historic resources.
